Hot Rolls Better than Oatmeal.

Let us then have breakfast Of steak OF
chops with good coffee, hot rolls and eggs,
and we are ready for days work.
After all the abuse that has been beaped
upon hot bread, am glad to lend my
voice in It's defense. Properly made, that
is, without peruicious alkali or half-bak-
ing, | have found 1t not only as easily di-
gested, but many times more so, than any
cereal food that may be dysreptic patients
eat and it is infinitely more palatable.
Hot rolls, as purchased from first class
city bakery, are among the most desirable
OF morning foods regret that cannot
say so much for oatmeal though many
persons seem to think that 1t constitutes
the most peediul aud nutritious portion
of their breakfast But recent expert
ments prove tha. by far the greater part
of what is taken passes through the body
unchanged, acting merely as an irritant to
bowels as it goes along. To di
gest this iniractable food properly, hard
out door labor seems TO be necessary, and

II is very common for farmers to look
about for some task that may be executed
in rainy day, "The time must not be
wasted, they reason, and they really be-
lieve it would be waste OF time to be idle,
or to rest, when it rains, provided that
there is work to be done under shelter.
They do not reason wisely. Farmers work
in good weather often beyond proper
hours that is to say, beyond safe limit Of
endurance. There are conditions that re
quire prolonged effort to bring work up
with the season. or to save what might be
lost without working over time. Take,
as an illustration, the meadow: grass cut
and cured, night coming on, rain threat
ened, loss impending BY working late
the last load may be secured, SO it is good
policy to take the strain.
But there must b. compensation. 10
balance each hour Of overwork, full
hour, or more, should be taken out of time
that otherwise might be used in labor.
Bend sapling and it will fly back when
released; but keep 1t bent month, or a
week, and it will not resume its former
shape. SO with hard working farmer
who takes too little time to rest. He is
bent never to straighten. Worse still, he
,ses elasticity Of mind. He becomes dull
IN thought, a slave to labor that can never
bring enough profit to compensate what
he voluntarily relinquishes in manly vigor
OF boky and mind. -Husbmdnan.

MAMMOTH CAVES RIVAL.
A New Wonder Discovered by Men Ex-
cavating IN Ken lucky.

CHICAGO, Dec. GA special from Bloom
field, KY, says: 81. A. Allen, of this city,
while excavating the foundation for new
mense proportions from which a strong cur
rent of cold air issued with great force as the
workmen made the opening. Torches were
procured and Mr.. Allen and Gain Hurst
were lowered down by means of a windlass.
1t was about GO feet from the surface to the
floor of the cave. which they found to be
level and sandy as if it was once the bed OF
an ancient subterranean stream. They fol-
lowed the main avenue for a distance of
over two miles and discovered an opening
in a cliff on the farm of Benjamin Wilson,
nd a well-beaten path was easily discovered
that was once trod by human beings,
although it is now in many places covered
with forest trees and underground.
A SECOND EXPLORATION.
Messrs. Allen and Hurst, after emerging
from the cave, fastened back to town, and
reported the result Of their discoveries. A
large party was at once formed, which ell
tered the opening OF the cliff on Wilson's
farm. On one of the main avenues numerous
evidences existed that the place had evidently
been the abode of cavemen as numerous
relics were found in the shape Of pottery
and bronze articles A Sepulchre was also
discovered in a large niche or avenue at
right angles with the main avenue, and in
it are numerous mummilied bodies. Three
of them have heen removed TO town and ex-
cite great curiosity The formations in the
cave are beautiful beyond description.
Stately towers of stalagmites and
beautiful pendants of translucent
stalactites, suggestive of grotesque
and unique figures, are encountered
all along the wonderful sub
terranean ayanua There is a beautifui
little lake, with water as clear as crystal,
and as is usual in cave streams. it is full
of tiny, eyeless fish. The avenues of the
cave will measure in all probability about
seven miles, so that it may be fairly consid~
cred another rival to the Mammoth Cave,
and certainly one of the many great Won
dsIs of Kentucky, the country of caves.

of Mr.. L. Z. Anderson, who was recently

what follows. The youth in question, after

times and before he was IL years old was
put in charge of an office. He was at

ductors called him 1.-The Midget" In the
meantime, he had learned stenography in
the intervals of his duties. and was given
the chief clerkship in the Office Of Mr.. Hege,
Superintendent of the Henderson division
of the Louisville and Nashville. When Mr.

RoUaHs ON TOP AT A FIRE.
Stores Entered for Robbery and the
Proprietors Intimidated.

Proprietors inundated.
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.A special from Ash
land, Wis, about the fire at Wakefield,
Mich, says the lawless element had full
control of the town during the progress of
the fire. Hundreds of stores were fired by
the roughs to intimidate merchants who
were endeavoring to save some of their
stock. They went into number of stores
in a cody and while some of them would
cover the inmates with revolvers others
would rob the store of its most valuable
goods. The whisky secured from the
many saloons in the block made the
men perfect demons. The people whose
property was burning stood by powerless
and made no efforts to interfere with what
was going on. The streets were filled with
hatless women, some rushing about search
ing for lost children and others wringing
their hands and crying as they watched the
destruction of their homes. Wakefield is a
typical mining town and is composed en-
tirely of wooden buildings. The fire once
started was soon beyond control, as there
were no facilities for fighting it,

LOWER CALIFORNIA.
Narrow Minded Mexicans Opposed to
American Colonization.


CRY OF MEXICO, Dec. 27.-The policy of
allowing Americans to COLOMBO lower Call
fornia continues TO be agitated, the opposi-
ton taking the ground that the administra-
ton of President Diaz in cordially toward
Americans forgets the result of permitting
American colonization in Texas Gen. Pa
checo, Minister of Public Works, replies in
pamphlet showing that no danger
from American colonization exists, and in
fact that Americans are in the minority IN
the territory of lower California. lie
argues that the separation of Texas from
Mexico was brought about, not by Amerl-
cans who had gone there to settle, but by
Adventures who had focked into the State
from the United States He takes liberal
view of American colonization.
CLERICAL sAvAGENESs.
The Clerical press is especially savage in
its attacks on Americans and the Diaz adj
ministration.
The Liberals say that it was the Clericals
whoa old half of Mexico to the United
States, and that it was the same party that
brought a foreign Prince here to rule over
the people, who did not want him, and that
the Clericals are the last persons who should
talk against an extension OF tho privileges
of Industrious, and honorable Americans
seeking new homes on Mexican soil
Gen. Pacheco maintained in his pamphlet
that no self-governing State, although
colonized by foreigners, will prove disloyal
to the Mexican Union.
The controversy occupies the public mind
to the exclusion of other topics.
A concession has been granted to a steam
ship company for line between New York,
New Orleans and Vera Cruz, the vessels
to touch at all Mexican ports
on the Gulf of Mexico, and
to carry the mails. The usual
rebate of 2 per cent or customs duties is
granted, and the line is obligei to carry
freight passengers at lower rates than
those now charged. The government will
pay 81 900 per round trip as a subsidy
